This may be more ASB than anything else, but it's pre-1900, so I figured that I'd at least post it here to see what the responses were. WI, for whatever reason, the 'Hamilton Plan' was adopted at the Constitutional Convention instead of what ended up becoming our modern-day U.S. Constitution? What kind of circumstances would be needed for the founders to endorse such strong centralized government in the first place? Who would become the first 'Governor' of the United States? What kind of reforms would we possibly see in the future?
